I’ve been a huge fan of Carolyn (aka @petite_punk), the powerhouse behind DC Goodwill’s Finding Your Good initiative, for a while. So I was so excited when she asked me to chat about one of my favorite topics, thrifting, for their blog. Head on over to read some of my favorite thrift tips, finds, and upcycling wins!

LOCAL II Drawing Night with The Lemon Collective on 2/27
TLC Drawing Night
2/27/19 at She Loves me
I’m so excited to be joining the amazing local girl gang behind The Lemon Collective for drawing night on February 27! This is literally a dream come true as I’ve been following their work since I moved to D.C. I hope you’ll join me in Holley’s beautiful new space on the 27th!
I’ll will guide the group through a series of plant still life arrangements at She Loves Me, a flower shop in Petworth, featuring a variety of fabrics, textures, and, of course, cacti. We'll start quickly, with 1 minute drawings to warm up, and then increase the time you have to sketch each arrangement as the night progresses.
Tickets: $10
NO DRAWING EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. This is a fun relaxed evening of casual drawing with people you might know, people you've just heard of, people you've stalked on instagram, and perfect strangers. IT'S GOING TO GREAT.
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A CLASS, PLEASE BYO DRAWING SUPPLIES
LOCAL II SUNdeVICH
Weekly D.C. illustrations are back and I’m starting off with one of my neighborhood favorites— SUNdeVICH!
Desert 2 District II SUNdeVICH sandwich shop in Washington, D.C.
Although our neighborhood has a great selection of higher-end eateries and bars, there are a limited number of fast casual or takeout places. Luckily, the small selection we do have is excellent and that includes this neighborhood sandwich shop. As a plant-based eater, the menu options for me are a little limited, but I LOVE the veggie options they do have. I almost always order the Cairo, which has hummus, cucumber, brined veggies and walnuts. It. Is. Delicious. I have been assured by my omnivore husband that the meat options here are also excellent, so there’s something for everyone.
I also appreciate that SUNdeVICH works to keep things local, with local, fresh-baked bread and locally-sourced produce and meat. They even have their own veggie and herb garden on their roof.
Have you been? If so, what’s your favorite sandwich? I also love getting your recommendations!
